Chapter 1102

In the multiverse, within a dark space, a diamond-shaped celestial body floated quietly at some coordinate that cannot be explained in words.

The sound of air escaping when the hatch opened was exceptionally clear. Peter walked quickly through the long corridor and arrived in a spacious and bright entertainment hall.

"Look, isn't this our lucky kid?" The Amazing Spider-Man walked up enthusiastically, patted Peter on the back, and said.

Peter took off his mask directly and walked forward side-by-side with the Amazing Spider-Man. While looking at the various Spider-Men coming and going in the hall, he said: "Are you used to the various facilities of the base? Is there any problem? If so, I'll improve them when I go back this time."

"There were indeed some small problems at the beginning, but we adjusted them ourselves." The Amazing Spider-Man stopped in front of the bar and said to the Spider-Man Noir who was mixing drinks: "Give him a gin and tonic, and I'll have a regular sweet wine. By the way, no ice."

"No, just give me a glass of ice water. I have to go take care of business in a while!" Peter turned his head and said to Spider-Man Noir.

"I really didn't expect that you actually built us a base in the multiverse. We originally thought we would have to stay on that abandoned planet for a few years!" The Amazing Spider-Man shook his head and sighed.

"Because the universe I'm in had excess production capacity. Humanity's research on spaceships hasn't reached the level of mass-producing cosmic transport tools, but the new materials mined and the newly developed production lines were just sitting there, so it's better to use them for practice."

Peter smiled and continued: "Fortunately, Mr. Stark is generous. If he hadn't lent me the laboratory, I really wouldn't have been able to build a base so quickly."

"I heard that the original Superior Spider-Man—oh, that is, the Doctor Octopus of their universe now—also participated in the research, and several Spider-Men from the future adjusted the parts of the equipment that weren't suitable."

The Amazing Spider-Man lifted the lower half of his mask, took a sip of the cold wine, coughed, and then said: "It's a pity that we people are too busy to be of much help."

"Mary Jane and I are busy with the renovation of our wedding house, so I probably won't have any free time recently."

"By the way, the Multiverse Spider-Man Employment Task System we built is running quite well."

The Amazing Spider-Man's tone carried a hint of amazement. He said: "This is really too crazy. We can actually cross universes to help out in other people's worlds!"

"This is normal. We always have things we can't get to. Some people want to go out for study tours and can't keep an eye on New York's security, so some of the more idle Spider-Men can naturally help them complete these tasks. By the way, when you go on your honeymoon, I can go help you keep an eye on things." Peter smiled and said.

"Oh, didn't I post an employment task earlier? Why don't we go take a look together?" Peter picked up his wine glass, stood up, and suggested.

Peter and the Amazing Spider-Man walked through the entertainment hall and arrived at a place that looked more like a monitoring room. Here, Spider-Men gathered in twos and threes, watching the situations in certain universes.

Seeing Peter and the Amazing Spider-Man come over together, the Spider-Girl standing at the front desk asked without looking up: "Posting a task, or accepting a task?"

"I want to know, how is the task I posted earlier about finding someone going?" Peter asked, then he recalled and said: "The task number should be... the task content is to search for traces of a female Loki throughout the multiverse."

"..." Spider-Girl muttered in a low voice while looking down at the computer equipment. Suddenly, she exclaimed and said: "Oh, found it. A highest-priority task. This costs 500 points. You are really generous."

"After all, I do more odd jobs." Peter laughed and said: "Not all Spider-Men are like me, with no real work to do during their internship, so I have to go work in various universes."

Spider-Girl looked up at him and smiled, saying: "We all know that this base and this system were built by you and Superior Spider-Man. You've been a huge help."

"The information data has been summarized here. You can go to the No. 2 terminal next to it to retrieve the storage device."

"By the way, especially worth noting is that Spider-Man 2099 provided a particularly important clue. In the slums of the Fourth New York Sky Island where he lives, he once saw a lady with powerful illusion abilities and the ability to manipulate people's minds. She looks very much like the female Loki you described."

"You also know that the universe 2099 is in is not peaceful. The Earth shattered into several pieces, and New York is divided into seven sky islands, which can only be connected by space station portals. The entire New York is also controlled by the economic oligarchy, Alchemax. To move freely, one relies entirely on the identity identification system."

"However, there are still some free individuals in the slums, and that lady is one of them. Because they are in the same camp of freedom fighters against big corporations, they have met a few times."

"According to 2099, he once heard that lady cursing in Old Norse. In the world he is in, all history and culture are monopolized by big corporations. Ordinary people couldn't possibly learn this language, so she is very likely from Asgard."

Spider-Girl summarized the most important clues in the most concise language.

Peter nodded repeatedly as he listened. He said: "If that's the case, it's indeed very likely. It seems I must go find 2099. Is he in the base now?"

Spider-Girl looked down to check the information again and then said: "He's not here right now. The last response on the Spider-Web communication was three minutes ago. I'll give him a call and ask if he can come over."

"Sorry to trouble you."

About 20 minutes later, Spider-Man 2099, wearing a blue and red uniform, walked over. He was much stronger than Peter and the Amazing Spider-Man, looking burly and majestic.

His voice was also deeper and hoarser than many Spider-Men, sounding older and more mature.

Peter walked up and patted his arm, saying: "Long time no see, 2099. How have you been lately?"

"Nothing good or bad, but the armor parts you provided me were indeed a huge help." 2099 nodded and said: "The new material you brought called 'Molten Steel' is completely unrecognizable to Alchemax. Relying on the stealth parts, I successfully destroyed their newly built factory used to occupy the land of the freedom fighters..."

Peter turned his head to look at him and found that there was a lot of dust on his body. He was also limping when he walked, and there were injuries on his arms. It looked like he had just experienced a great battle. Peter said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to call you over."

"It's nothing, I can't stay idle anyway." Spider-Man 2099 shook his head and said: "The struggle has never ceased; I've long since gotten used to it!"

After speaking, the three of them came to the sofa in the entertainment hall.

Spider-Woman, who had been waiting there, walked over and said with some complaint: "I told you to wait where you were, and I would come to support you immediately. You insisted on rushing in to open fire first. Now look at you, you'll need to rest for at least two weeks..."

Spider-Man 2099 touched his nose and said: "I told you, I'm not used to teaming up with others. Posting a request for help task was just to try out the so-called employment system. The system is very easy to use, but you guys are too slow."

He then added: "If this were in my universe, if you guys took half an hour to prepare, you'd be dead already."

Spider-Woman kept frowning, obviously very disapproving of his words. However, soon, she still took the bandaging supplies from the robot and began to treat the wound on 2099's arm.

2099 used his other hand to take the ice wine handed over by Spider-Man Noir, lifted half of his mask, took a sip, and said: "I think you guys should already have some understanding of the situation in my universe."

"I'm not as lucky as you. The countries of the world didn't unite to develop technology. On the contrary, because of irreconcilable contradictions, they cut the Earth into many different parts."

Big corporations represented by Alchemax had long been plotting. After humanity committed irreparable war crimes, they directly proposed physically partitioning the Earth. Such an absurd suggestion was actually carried out by them.

"When I was born, the Earth had already been dispersed into thousands of sky islands. However, at that time, New York was still a complete sky island. But later, they first cut off the slums, and then cut the slums into even smaller pieces to prevent certain free individuals from interfering with their rule. Up to now, New York has been divided into seven sky islands."

"I have always been on the path of resisting Alchemax. I have a blood feud with them. My daughter was kidnapped for unknown reasons and eventually died at their hands..."

After speaking, Spider-Man 2099 sighed deeply. Peter and the Amazing Spider-Man comforted him with a few words.

"However..." He waved his hand and said: "This has nothing to do with you guys. I admit I suspected Miles before, but later, I discovered that Alchemax stole my genes and sent signals to the multiverse. As it happened, Miles received their spider communication."

"Spider-Silk helped me confirm this. At the same time, she used her unparalleled spider-sense talent to hack into Alchemax's system, letting me know that they actually wanted to occupy the land of the freedom fighters. It was because of this that we had our combat operation a few days ago."

"You were too bold." Spider-Woman evaluated: "The situation in your universe is already bad. The so-called freedom fighters only occupy a slum sky island, and the smallest one at that. You dared to launch a local war against a big corporation?"

"Launching a war against them is never too early..." Spider-Man 2099 just said this and stopped talking about the topic.

Peter and the Amazing Spider-Man looked at each other and found that they were thinking the same thing. Spider-Man 2099 was going to extremes, but they could also understand. After all, he first lost his wife and then his daughter. Anyone would go crazy with hatred.

"Thank you, lucky kid. This is our first time achieving such a major victory." Spider-Man 2099 turned his head to look at Peter and said: "For this, no matter who you are looking for in my world this time, I will definitely help with all my might."

Peter asked: "Spider-Girl told me that you discovered a suspicious person on the Fourth Sky Island of New York."

"That's right, we all call her Miracle Lady. She is one of the few hackers willing to cooperate with the freedom fighters. Although her personality is eccentric and she's arrogant, her abilities are indeed very strong, and she seems to have some unclear relationship with those big corporations..."

"Can you tell me more about her in detail?" Peter took out a tablet and began to record.

"No problem. Miracle Lady is a mercenary who probably only appeared on the Fourth Sky Island in the last few years. She was commissioned by Alchemax to help them expand their business and build factories."

"She possesses a very magical ability to bypass the big corporation's employee control system, hack into their brains, and control them to do things for her."

"Perhaps you guys living in a normal world cannot understand what a world controlled by big corporations is like."

"However, since the suspicious person you are looking for is in my world, why don't we go over and take a look directly? It would be much more efficient than me describing it to you here..."
